In 1970, General Motors signaled its return to dominance in the muscle car arena with a double play. First, the corporation lifted its self-imposed limit on engine size for intermediate cars, opening the door for increased performance.
Then, they unleashed the Chevrolet Chevelle 454 LS6, a tire-shredding monster that left the competition in the dust. This particular LS6, meticulously restored to its original condition, is a rare gem.
Offered for sale by a Washington owner, this numbers-matching Chevelle boasts the legendary 454 cubic-inch V8 engine, producing a heart-stopping 450 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
With only 4,475 LS6 engines ever finding their way into Chevelles, this 1970 masterpiece is a true collector’s item, and a chance to own a piece of automotive history.
While the 1970 Dodge 426 Hemi and Ford Boss 429 might reign supreme in terms of rarity, the Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 remains a formidable muscle car with a more attainable price tag.
This particular LS6 boasts its numbers-matching V8 engine and a heavy-duty Rock-Crusher transmission. Originally sporting a Cranberry Red paint job, the car now features a black exterior a fitting color for a dominant force on the drag strip, as its past racing history suggests.
The seller emphasizes that the engine remains untouched despite its racing days, with the original block boasting a hard-earned 71,245 miles. The transmission has been rebuilt, while the body retains its original condition.
Although not open to negotiation, this LS6 is a unique opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a comparatively reasonable price, with the seller even entertaining offers of forested land in Idaho.
